He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?"

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely.

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Each of the three credit bureaus has their own scoring system and therefore you have 3 separate credit scores. Lenders will throw out the highest and lowest and use the middle one. This score really needs to be a 620 at the minimum.<br /> <br /> So, how do you know what your credit scores are? I use Credit Sesame and Credit Karma personally. 📱<br /> <br /> These are considered “educational” scores and will not line up exactly with a “mortgage” score but I have found that they both rise and fall consistently.<br /> <br /> For example, if a lender pulls a 580 and your Credit Karma shows a 620 - you need a 40 point increase. Most of the time when your Credit Karma score gets to 660, the lender will also get very close to that same increase. 🙌<br /> <br /> - Joanna	Joanna Ouderkirk, REAL Estate	42	https://facebook.com/JoannaHoustonHomeGals	NO_BUTTON	1709798400	View Edit Delete

The phone weighed 2.5 lbs & took 10 hours to charge, but it was still a modern miracle.<br /> <br /> It came to market 10 years later & Motorola expected them to be purchased by wealthy people. After all, they cost $4,000 — that’s $12,000 in today’s dollars!<br /> <br /> But the real “early adopters” who jumped on this new technology turned out to be… people in real estate. For real estate agents, paying even $4,000 for a new gadget was worth it if that meant never missing a call from a client! <br /> <br /> These folks helped spark further innovation, which ultimately made cell phones more affordable across the board.<br /> <br /> So, I’m thankful for those who came before me in our industry & were the first to try something new. Nowadays, phone calls are just one small function of the device we carry in our pockets.<br /> <br /> So, if you have any questions about homes for sale in the Fort Bend County area, give me a call or send me a text: (281) 845-4155. <br /> <br /> Just like those early cell phone users… I promise I’ll answer my phone.. even when I'm 17 hours ahead. 🙂<br /> <br /> - Joanna	Joanna Ouderkirk, REAL Estate	42	https://facebook.com/JoannaHoustonHomeGals	NO_BUTTON	1707379200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear.

One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else?

He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!”<br /> <br /> Joanna A. – Dog Owner<br /> <br /> ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5/5<br /> “Since using Brain Training for Dogs my dogs are more excited to learn. They actively want to take part and figure out what they need to do! It’s not about ‘commanding’ that they perform a behavior, it’s about getting them thinking. I really love this approach to dog training and my dogs do too!”<br /> <br /> Rosemary D. – Dog Owner<br /> <br /> ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5/5<br /> “After going through this program I feel 100 times more confident and far better about training. I have a far better understanding of behaviors and my puppy definitely seems to pick up on that confidence. This system is the best confidence booster and the best way to teach your dog.”<br /> <br /> Sonoma W. – Dog Owner	Wagwhim shop	2	https://facebook.com/61556732697297	MESSAGE_PAGE	1712386800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

About 2000 years ago some women went to the tomb of Jesus. He wasn't there and an angel (messenger) of the Lord asked them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" In this installment of Faith From The Farm, Pastor Scott Killgore reflects on our tendency to look for abundant life in the wrong places. That's the bad news. The good news is that spiritually abundant life can be found, and it's offered to us as a gift.	Faith From The Farm	619	https://facebook.com/100064943401647		1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked.

Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

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

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

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.

His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair!

A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder.

I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again.

Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else?

Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..."

He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair!

In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann.

She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked.

You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.

Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out.

Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before.

Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily.

Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

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

It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> .................................................. ..<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here.<br /> 😍Open the APP to read for free👉	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1711695600	View Edit Delete

She was Saturday morning's first live-action super-heroine, saving lives and stopping crime in a mini-skirt and go-go boots on The Secrets of Isis! When science teacher Andrea Thomas unearthed a lost treasure on an archeological dig, she found that the mystical amulet endowed her with the powers given to the ancient Egyptian Queen, Isis! Now granted the powers of animals and the elements, Isis soars as the falcon soared, runs with the speed of gazelles, and commands the elements of the sky and the earth. Although her secret identity is unknown to even her closest friends, fellow teacher Rick Mason, or students Cindy Lee and Renee Carrol, Andrea uses her powers as Isis to stop criminals, save lives, right wrongs, and teach valuable lessons... sometimes with the aid of fellow hero Captain Marvel (Shazam!). Now available on DVD for the first time, the entire two seasons of The Secrets of Isis contain a treasure-trove of special features, and all the super-powered goodness that the heroine represented. Now, you too can be the heir to...The Secrets of Isis! <br /> <br /> Aspect Ratio : 1.33:1 Full Screen <br /> MPAA rating ‏ : ‎NR (Not Rated)<br /> Media Format ‏ : ‎ NTSC DVD (DVDR)<br /> Run time ‏ : ‎ 8 hours and 4 minutes<br /> Actors ‏ : ‎ JoAnna Cameron<br /> Number of discs ‏ : ‎ 3 <br /> MOD (Manufactured On Demand)<br /> <br /> Purchase by using Facebook Buy Button to checkout or message me your PayPal email address for a PayPal invoice to be sent to.<br /> Facebook Marketplace	Jim Hutchinson	0	/marketplace/?seller_profile=100000934185992	BUY_NOW	1711695600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again.

Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd.

Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

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

Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you?

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you?

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

All she wants in life is to escape her certifiably crazy grandmother, Zoe, and (literally) surf through life. <br /> <br /> It’s short, after all … and her parents’ death five years earlier is proof of that. <br /> <br /> But Ashlyn’s carefree plans suddenly alter when she’s attacked by beings who’ve been long searching for her. She learns that the stories her grandmother was feeding her—mythology hidden in the pages of comic books—are actually the written record of her own genealogy and that she’s the half-mortal daughter of Joanna Archer, the world’s most renowned super-<br /> heroine. <br /> <br /> Which sucks.<br /> <br /> Because where there are heroes, there are also villains, and one group has sworn to kill all emerging young superheroes in order to amass power for themselves. <br /> <br /> For her own safety, Ashlyn is sent away from her beloved beach to a place where survival depends on the help of newfound friends, her acceptance of a supernatural underworld she never knew existed, and <br /> her belief that she, too, is a superhero.<br /> <br /> Because a new order is rising in the world known as the Zodiac. The next generation of superheroes and villains is starting from ground zero. <br /> <br /> And the race is on for control.<br /> <br /> <br /> Link in Bio, and: <br /> <br /> Housekeeping note 1: <br /> <br /> While this book is set in the ‘Signs of the Zodiac’ world, and retains the flavor and voice of that original series, ZODIAC RISING is a Young Adult (YA) novel, and written for that audience.<br /> <br /> Housekeeping note 2:<br /> <br /> The original series leaves the KU program at the end of the month. <br /> <br /> So if you like KU, I’d grab them now. If you don’t … look for them on all platforms on April 20th.<br /> Oh ... and welcome back.	Vicki Pettersson	5593	https://facebook.com/vicki.pettersson	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

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

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

All she wants in life is to escape her certifiably crazy grandmother, Zoe, and (literally) surf through life. It’s short, after all … and her parents’ death five years earlier is proof of that. <br /> But Ashlyn’s carefree plans suddenly alter when she’s attacked by beings who’ve been long searching for her. She learns that the stories her grandmother was feeding her—mythology hidden in the pages of comic books—are actually the written record of her own genealogy and that she’s the half-mortal daughter of Joanna Archer, the world’s most renowned super-heroine. <br /> Which sucks.<br /> Because where there are heroes, there are also villains, and one group has sworn to kill all emerging young superheroes in order to amass power for themselves. For her own safety, Ashlyn is sent away from her beloved beach to a place where survival depends on the help of newfound friends, her acceptance of a supernatural underworld she never knew existed, and her belief that she, too, is a superhero.<br /> Because a new order is rising in the world known as the Zodiac. The next generation of superheroes and villains is starting from ground zero. <br /> And the race is on for control.<br /> <br /> <br /> Link in Bio, and: <br /> <br /> Housekeeping note 1: <br /> <br /> While this book is set in the ‘Signs of the Zodiac’ world, and retains the flavor and voice of that original series, ZODIAC RISING is a Young Adult (YA) novel, and written for that audience.<br /> <br /> Housekeeping note 2:<br /> <br /> The original series leaves the KU program at the end of the month. <br /> <br /> So if you like KU, I'd grab them now. If you don't … look for them on all platforms on April 20th.	Vicki Pettersson	5593	https://facebook.com/vicki.pettersson	SHOP_NOW	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

I am one month pregnant for Matthew Bryant." I whip head towards her direction and my mouth hangs open.<br /> Wendy?<br /> Matt got his brother's girl pregnant?<br /> "Come on, Jack." She smirks at him. "Your brother should be given a chance to choose between marrying his fiancé or being my baby daddy because something tells me that he can't have both." She smirks at me. <br /> "What?" Some people ask in utter shock while others just gasp in disbelief.<br /> But I just stand there...numb.<br /> This is a joke!<br /> ————————<br /> A mega smile pulls on my lips when I picture dad and mom walking me down the aisle in my splashy gown, Matt impatiently waiting for me at the altar and the guests whipping their heads towards me, wowed by the bride's beauty and the classic expensive gown.<br /> A grand entrance.<br /> It's what I have always wanted on my wedding day and I always wanted a super grand wedding.<br /> I am not from a very well off family, but I am marrying a Bryant.<br /> The oldest son to be specific, Matthew Bryant, one of the youngest and hottest C.E.Os in the country, and marrying him comes with extra perks.<br /> Don't get me wrong, I am not in this for the money and definitely not for fame. I love Matt with everything in me.<br /> He is my better half.<br /> He is my soul mate.<br /> I met him six months ago at a business conference, he was the guest speaker and I happened to be the host/presenter.<br /> "Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome on stage our guest speaker tonight." I checked on my list just to be sure, and to avoid mispronunciation. "Mr. Matthew Bryant, the founder and the CEO of the leading holding company in the country. BM holdings." And I stood there waiting, as the audience applauded.<br /> I had no clue who Matthew Bryant was or what he looked like but I knew he was one of the youngest and richest CEOs in the country and the founder of BM holdings.<br /> Just like everyone else, I was eager to see him.<br /> I don't know what I was expecting, but when a fine-looking gentleman stood up, I swoon.<br /> Every woman in the hall did.<br /> He was in a pair of black slim-fit pants and a white button-up shirt. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone and he had his sleeves rolled up to the elbow. A rugged quiff that made him appear extra hot and a grin to wrap it up.<br /> The kind of a grin that a man pulls when he knows that every woman in the room can't stop swooning over his masculine beauty.<br /> He is cocky that way.<br /> In all his glory he walked to the stage relishing in the attention he got. I casually extended my hand to shake his and the moment our skin touched, fireworks exploded.<br /> It felt like some electric current. He felt it too, the connection.<br /> I made a mistake and looked up at him, and a very awkward silence followed.<br /> We stood there stupefied, staring at each other like two teenagers who had been crushing on each other for a long hip time and finally had the balls to confess their feelings.<br /> It was love at first sight.<br /> We exchanged contacts after the conference and he asked me out a few weeks later, and after going out with him for a few more dates we became official.<br /> We've dated for eight months and he proposed to me a few weeks ago, four weeks to be specific and the wedding is scheduled for today.<br /> Yeah, it's my wedding day and I can't keep calm.<br /> It's not every day a girl gets to marry the love of their lives in a classic wedding ceremony.<br /> I am just so lucky.<br /> I can't believe that this is actually happening. That I am getting married to Matt today.<br /> It's a dream come true and I am so overwhelmed and overly excited.<br /> I didn't sleep at all last night, I kept tossing on the bed thinking about today.<br /> Talk about excitement.<br /> "Ooh my God, Jo!" Both my sister and my best friend scream in excitement when I step out of the makeup room.<br /> "You look gorgeous, babe." Sky squeals while my sister shrieks, "You look beautiful." They both rush towards me and they practically drag me in front of the mirror.<br /> "I feel like a billion bucks," I say, smiling at my own reflection.<br /> That's a lot of money but it still doesn't match my happiness at the moment.<br /> My make up is on fleek. I bless Celine, Matt's mom, for recommending William's makeover. That William guy can work magic, I love how everything he suggested blended in.<br /> My blond tresses are swirled into a chignon and I have never looked so beautiful.<br /> And I have never been so happy.<br /> "Can we get you into your wedding dress now?" Kelly asks me.<br /> She has been waiting impatiently for this day, you would have thought she is the one getting married.<br /> "Yes please," I say twirling around, trying very hard not to jump up and down like a kid on a sugar rush.<br /> God knows I have been waiting for this day since forever.<br /> I take a deep breath when I step out of the car and I patiently wait for mom and dad to walk me down the aisle.<br /> "You are so tensed," Mom observes and I smile at her.<br /> "I can't help it," I say hooking my arm around hers.<br /> "Take a deep breath," Dad instructs, taking my other arm and I take a deep calming breath.<br /> "Ready?" Dad asks me.<br /> I nod and we start taking slow steps on the red carpet.<br /> I can practically feel all the eyes on me, as we take slow steps inside the hall. I am so nervous by the way.<br /> I inhale deeply when they hand me over to Matt who spares me a grin and then he leads me to the officiant.<br /> "If any of you has a reason why these two should not be married, speak now, or forever hold your peace." The officiant announces after the preceedings and I instinctively look around. I sigh in relief when no one says anything and Matt smirks at me. "Let's proceed with the vows." He motions Matt to start and I smile when he turns fully to face me.<br /> "You are everything I ever wanted, Joanna Williams. When I saw you that day, I fell in love with you. Mine was love at first sight and I will always thank God for bringing you my way. I believe in us and promise to never take you for granted. I want to grow old with you by my side and to love you. Always." Wow, it's too sweet.<br /> He always has his way with words.<br /> "I am not that girl who swoons over cute men but the very first time I saw you, I swooned." I chuckle nervously, I don't know what else to say. I should have recited my vows. "I love you and I promise to always love you even in the afterlife. You complete me, Matthew Bryant." We exchange the rings as our friends and family cheers us on.<br /> The officiant directs us as we sign our wedding certificates a few minutes later before the pronouncement.<br /> "I now pronounce you husband and wife." He turns to Matt. "You may now hip your wife."<br /> YOUR WIFE.<br /> I am officially married to Matthew, I am officially Mrs. Byrant.<br /> "I am about to ruin someone's lipstick." He whispers to me as he takes my lips in his for a hip that doesn't last too long because out of nowhere, a guy decides to object the wedding.<br /> "... I am one month pregnant for Matthew Bryant." I whip head towards her direction and my mouth hangs open.<br /> Wendy?<br /> Matt got his brother's girl pregnant?<br /> "What?" Some people ask in utter shock while others just gasp in disbelief.<br /> But I just stand there...numb.<br /> This is a joke!<br /> Wendy is his brother's girlfriend and there's no way Matt had sleep with her, she can't be pregnant with his child.<br /> No way.<br /> I mean, Matt is the most faithful guy I know and this can't be true. He couldn't have slept with his brother's girlfriend.<br /> He is decent than that, not his type.<br /> I know Matt's type.<br /> The collected, responsible, sensible type and Wendy is the complete opposite of that. She is your typical impulsive guy.<br /> So this is nothing but a very ugly prank and she sucks at it.<br /> I look at her and I almost gag. I knew there was a reason I didn't like her from the very first time I set my eyes on her.<br /> Her smile was so plastic.<br /> She's in a short dress that ends right where her thighs begin. It's black, and it clings to her artificial hips like a second skin. She's wearing a matching pair of strappy heels that should be too high for comfort, but surprisingly, she is strutting in them without a struggle.<br /> She has her hands crossed on her chest and she is giving me the 'did you hear what I just said? I am =pregnant for Matt's look.<br /> And then I train my eyes towards Matt.<br /> He looks calm in a intimidating way.<br /> His jaw is set, his face void of emotions but I catch a glimpse of emotion in his hazel green eyes, something between anger and shock.<br /> His eyebrows are shot up. Not in the 'Did she just say that?' manner, it's more of 'What the have you just done? You know you just said will cost you your life, right?' calm look.<br /> I would be scared in Wendy's shoes.<br /> "What Wendy?" Jack asks her pulling her by the wrist. He is so pissed. "Let's get the out of here!" He attempts to pull her outside but she yanks her hand from his grip.<br /> "Come on, Jack." She smirks at him. "Your brother should be given a chance to choose between marrying his fiancé or being my baby daddy because something tells me that he can't have both." She smirks at me. "I don't think I would have a problem with that, but I can't say the same about her."<br /> I am oblivious of the whispers and the few people that have gathered around us ordering Jack to take Wendy away. And some are scolding Matt to say the truth.<br /> "Come on, Matty?" First, the way she just called him? "Tell your precious fiancé that we a week before you went on one knee to propose to her?" Second, her tone.<br /> Third, she just called me his precious fiancé.<br /> It didn't even cross my mind. If Wendy is one month pregnant then they had sleep a few days before Matt proposed to me.<br /> That's all it takes for me to snap out of my denial to a hopeful bride.<br /> I hope Wendy is lying, I want Matt to tell me that she is lying. I desperately want him to say that he didn't sleep with her.<br /> "Babe, Jo..." He starts but I guess he suddenly can't find the words.<br /> "Tell me that she is lying, Matt!" I demand, looking him in the eye but the next thing he does crashes my soul.。<br /> He swallows dryly and he blinks twice, something that he does only when he is about to lie. Yeah, six months is a long time and I notice those small reactions.<br /> I blink rapidly when tears starts to well up.<br /> "Please let me..." He starts to say but I cut him in.<br /> "Ooh my God, she is not, is she?" I ask rhetorically, taking two involuntary steps back when he tries to grab my hand. "You slept with her and still went ahead to propose to me?" I feel so stupid as everything starts to make perfect sense in my head.<br /> A few days before he proposed I was in the office, I called him and guess who answered?<br /> Wendy.<br /> She had the guts to answer Matt's phone. But I didn't suspect anything because I heard Jack talking from the other end.<br /> "It's nice to finally meet you, Jo. Something tells me that you and I will be good friends." She told me this when Matt introduced me to her at our engagement party. I didn't get the hint yet she was so sarcastic.<br /> I excused myself to go to the washroom a few minutes later and she followed me, that's not the weird part. It got weird when Matt came to check on me a few minutes later saying that I had taken too long.<br /> That was so unlike him. He is not the clingy type so coming to check on me in the washroom was suspicious it's like he didn't want me to be alone with Wendy.<br /> "I can explain..."<br /> I don't let him finish the sentence. I pull the wedding band from my finger, and I hit him with it.<br /> Then I lift the train of my wedding gown into my hands and I run out of the hall, pushing Wendy to the floor on my way out and I cringe when the stench of spirits hits my nostrils.<br /> I am one month pregnant for Matthew Bryant.<br /> Those eight words keep echoing in my head as I exit the building. It's like Wendy's voice is amplified a thousand times in my dazed mind.<br /> My nostrils are flaring. Both of my hands are clutching my train, lifting it all the way up lest I trip on it, and my heart is palpitating wildly.<br /> I have thousands of emotions surging through me.<br /> I feel disappointed. I feel hurt. I feel heartbroken. I feel betrayed.<br /> And I am so infuriated.<br /> How could Matt do this to me? I trusted him. I thought he was different. Who would have thought that my loving fiance would have cheated on me with Wendy?<br /> "Jo? Joanna?!" I can hear people calling my name as I run past them, but their voices seem to be coming from a million miles away.<br /> I expertly dodge a few people who try to block my way, and I heave a sigh of relief when I finally get out of the hall.<br /> They are probably running after me but I don't even look back.<br /> I have one mission right now.<br /> Get the out of here and run as far away as I can from Matthew.<br /> I need to get out of this before I kill he. I don't wish to end up in prison for killing someone that really deserved it.<br /> Matt and Wendy. They both deserve a slow, painful death.<br /> How do you have sleep with your younger brother's girlfriend? How do you even sleep with your boyfriend's elder brother?<br /> Gross! Super gross!<br /> I don't have a destination in mind and I don't even have my car keys., I don't even know where my car is.<br /> I gave Kelly my key. I had no idea that I would need to use my car today. We were supposed to leave for our honeymoon right after the reception but that's obviously not going to happen.<br /> No reception, no honeymoon, no marriage.<br /> So I run to the freeway hoping to get a cab.<br /> My mind is a whirlwind of emotions and by the time I realize that I am crossing the highway, it's too late.<br /> " Are you hurt?" Someone asks a few minutes later.<br /> He is worried, tensed and he sounds unfamiliar.<br /> I slowly force my eyes open and I see the driver of the black SUV that almost hit me hopping out of the car.<br /> Actually, I am standing less than a meter away, very uninjured without a single bruise and I have no idea how I am alive.<br /> "Are you okay, did I hurt you?" He asks and I shake my head.<br /> "Please get me out of here!" I plead with him, taking a glance back and I see Matt attempting to cross the road but someone pulls him back saving him from another speeding car on the first lane.<br /> "Are you okay!" The guy demands, tipping my chin and I look up at him.<br /> He stares at me for a long second and then he motions me to get in the car. I don't waste a second, I proceed to sit shotgun and I wait impatiently for him to get in and drive us away.<br /> "Buckle up!" He orders me and he starts the car just when Matt makes his last step to us.<br /> "Talking helps lighten the burden."<br /> Enzo's deep voice snaps me back from my trance and I take a sharp intake of breath.<br /> "I don't think I am ready to talk."<br /> My voice is hoarse and I sound so broken.<br /> I am broken.<br /> "Okay, what do you want to do? Thinking about him will only break you."<br /> I slowly open my eyes and I catch him staring at me through the rearview mirror but he takes his eyes back to the road almost immediately.<br /> "Kill she and frame Matt for it."<br /> I don't even have to think twice. I desperately want them gone.<br /> "Whoa. That's murder and you can get a death penalty." He says dramatically, faking a shocked expression.<br /> "I am aware, and you totally missed out on the last part." I have an evil smirk on my face. "Plus I watched how to get away with murder a few weeks ago."<br /> "That is not an option at the moment. Anything else you want to do?"<br /> "Drink, cry, shout!"<br /> I want to get drunk and tell the world that I hate Matthew Bryant.<br /> "I don't have a cold drink at the moment but this should suffice."<br /> He hands me a bottle of distilled water and I shake my head.<br /> No way!<br /> "I meant something alcoholic not some holy water." He smiles at me.<br /> "I know exactly what you want but water will help you relax."<br /> "No thanks."<br /> He tosses the bottle of water on my laps anyway and he prods me to take a gulp.<br /> "Slow down, will you? It will be so sad if you die on your wedding day." He warns as I empty the bottle of water in a minute.<br /> "There, it didn't work," I say, tossing the empty bottle on his laps.<br /> "I guess this will."<br /> I heave a sigh of relief when he rolls the windows down and I savor the feeling of the cold breeze hitting my face. I shut my eyes and l lean back.<br /> Just what I needed.<br /> "So?" He asks me.<br /> "So?" I ask rudely, and he raises a single eyebrow at me.<br /> "You realize that you are in a strangers car, right?" He asks, raising his eyebrow incredibly higher. "I would be polite if I were you." He adds as he turns to the left.<br /> And it suddenly hit me.<br /> I don't know him, and I don't know where he is taking me.<br /> I grudgingly open my eyes when Enzo stops the car thirty minutes later and I glance outside.<br /> We are in the parking lots, outside a very grand and posh hotel. I can't read the name from here but I can tell it is a five-star hotel.<br /> I glance at the rearview mirror and for the second time, I catch him staring at me but I am the one who looks away this time.<br /> "How are you feeling?"<br /> I can still feel his eyes on me and he sounds so very concerned about me. I guess pity is the word.<br /> He pities me?<br /> I pity myself too.<br /> "Like a pile of trash." I give him an honest answer. "Ooh. And very furious."<br /> Matt cheated on me but he still went ahead and proposed to me. That's so infuriating.<br /> He got Wendy pregnant and of all the days, she chose to announce it on the wedding day right in front of everyone. That's so humiliating.<br /> He bangs the door shut and he tightens his grip on my hand, and I hook the train around my other free arm as we walk towards the building.<br /> The entrance is a few meters from the parking lots and he is clutching my hand as we walk in total silence<br /> For some reasons I feel like no harm can get to me with Enzo by my side. I feel safe and very protected.<br /> There are a few people at the waiting lounge, probably waiting to be served, but Enzo walks us directly to the reception, and that earns him a few groans from the rest, but he doesn't seem.<br /> "Hello." He says to the receptionist.<br /> She is busy typing something on her computer but Enzo proceeds to place his cards on her desk anyway.<br /> "I am sorry, but you will have to wait like the rest." The blonde girl says, looking up and when she sets her eyes on Enzo she swoons.<br /> She stares at him for a long hip second and I clear my throat to break the awkwardness. She finally notices that there is someone standing with Enzo.<br /> "Wow. Your gown is beautiful." She tells me, forcing a smile and I force a smile right back.<br /> I know the gown is beautiful but her compliment sounded so fake.<br /> "I want to book two rooms for the weekend," Enzo tells her impatiently.<br /> She flashes him a smile as she takes his cards from the desk and I roll my eyes.<br /> She is too flirty!<br /> "Congratulations on your wedding, I hope you enjoy your honeymoon." She tells us a few minutes later, and she hands the cards and two separate keys to Enzo.<br /> "We are..." I start to say but Enzo beats me to it.<br /> "Thank you." He is quick to say.<br /> "Third floor, on the right right-wing, instructs us, Enzo to be specific.<br /> I sigh in relief when we both get inside the elevator and I let go of the train. I just can't wait to get rid of this stupid gown. It is too suffocating and totally not worth it.<br /> "We need to shop for a few dresses," Enzo tells me as he presses the button indicating the third floor and I lean back as the elevator plunges up.<br /> "I can't go out in this stupid gown again," I say, stepping out, leading the way to the right-wing.<br /> There are only two rooms in this wing, one that is next to the elevator and the other one is at the furthest corner.<br /> "Advanced technology. We can shop online."<br /> "It didn't even cross my mind," I say, stopping at the door.<br /> "You can't take the first room." He tells me. "Someone will have to get to me first." And we proceed to walk further.<br /> He opens the door for me and he steps aside to let me in.<br /> I glance at Enzo for a fleeting second and my heart aches as I walk inside. This should be Matt, he should be the one getting doors for his bride. I should be excited about spending a few days with my husband.<br /> "Go take a shower, it will help you relax." I smile at him for the very first time as I walk straight to the mirror.<br /> I need to take one last glance because I will never wear a wedding gown ever again.<br /> I look so pale, so messed up and so broken. Nothing close to the beautiful girl that I saw in the mirror in the morning.<br /> "You need help with that?" Ezo asks when he notices that I am struggling to loosen the straps of my dress.<br /> "Please." He walks behind me and I take a sharp breath when he accidentally grazes his finger on my skin as he loosens my strap.<br /> Under different circumstances, this would be so romantic. A man helping a girl loosen the straps of her wedding gown?<br /> "You looked beautiful in this dress by the way." He tells me in a husky voice and when I look at the mirror, our eyes meet.<br /> We stare at each other for a very long second and he blinks when I suck in an involuntary breath.<br /> "I should go take a shower," I say, a nervous smile forming on my lips, and Enzo steps back without saying a single word.<br /> I hold my loosely strapped gown up, lest it falls as I walk to the bedroom and I swear I can feel Enzo's eyes drilling small holes on my back.<br /> I release a breath that I wasn't aware I was holding when I step in the room, closing the door behind me and I let my gown fall carelessly around my feet.<br /> I am in a white backless corset and a pink lacey garter belt lingerie that I had worn under my wedding dress.<br /> Ooh, and I am still in my six inches pair of heels.<br /> I did put on so much effort to look good for Matt but it was all for naughts. <br /> I just wasted my precious time to please an wanker that doesn't even deserve it.<br /> Have been having fantasies about this particular day for a very long time and I even anticipated Matt to literally throw me on the bed when he sees me in this.<br /> A bride dressed in some good lingerie should be the first gift a man gets from his wife. It sets a romantic mood for the first night as a married couple and I was all ready for it.<br /> I thought we would pop some champagne, toss to our union, and consummate our marriage.<br /> I thought we would sleep with the entire night.<br /> I didn't expect any drama and I never saw all of this coming. I was totally not braced for a heartbreak on my wedding day. I wasn't supposed to end up in a hotel with a total stranger.<br /> I step out of the dress, get rid of the shoe, and paddle on the marble floor to the bathroom. I am tempted to run a warm bath first, but I don't think it's what I need at the moment.<br /> So I turn on the faucet and I stand under the cascading cold water, still in my lingerie.<br /> I shut my eyes as droplets of the ice-cold water hit my skin lightly and I let my mind drift away.<br /> Minutes later, I wrap a towel around my body before walking out of the bathroom.<br /> That is the longest time I have ever spent in a shower.<br /> I just stood there reminiscing about the best moments I have had with Matt. The times that he made me feel special, when he promised to love me always and forever.<br /> I remembered the vow he made today and I remembered that moment when all of this changed.<br /> The minute Wendy's words sank in my mind.Enzo is at the doorstep staring at the wedding dress on the floor and he has a Forever Twenty 1 shopping bag in his hand.<br /> He just walked in to bring me the clothes that he actually bought for me.<br /> "Took you long enough." He says, getting the dress from the floor.<br /> "Not more than thirty minutes I bet?" I ask, fastening the towel around me when I feel his eyes boring into my skin.<br /> "Thirty-five minutes to be precise. You scared me and I had to come check on you."<br /> "You don't think that I am capable of committing suicide because some wanker broke my heart, do you?"<br /> "I don't even know your name, I don't think I know what you are capable of."<br /> "Joanna Williams. And no, I can't hurt myself." I am already in too much pain as it is.<br /> He walks in further, his eyes intensely on me and he places the dress and the shopping bag on the king-size bed.<br /> His eyes linger on my undressed thighs for a freaking mini-second and I consciously attempt to adjust my towel. Unfortunately, it is not long enough.<br /> I don't judge him though, men stare a lot.<br /> I sit at the edge of the bed and a tear rolls down my cheek when I take the gown in my hands.<br /> I feel so miserable.<br /> I hug it to my chest and a lump forms in my throat. I don't think I can endure the heartaches anymore. I can't hold back the tears any longer, I am going to break down sooner than later.<br /> I really wanted to be strong. I didn't want to shed even a single tear for Matt, he doesn't even deserve it.<br /> "Hey?" Enzo whispers, tipping my face slowly to look at him and another fat tear rolls down when our eyes meet.<br /> He cusses under his breath as he squats right in front of me, resting his arms on my undressed thigh.<br /> I am too messed up to concentrate on the skin to skin contact between us but my heartbeat ratchets up.<br /> He flickers the tear away with his thumb and he cups my face in his hands.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone!

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone!

Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone!

Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!"

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out.

Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

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

"Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure.

She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again.

Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

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

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

SCHMIDT:<br /> <br /> Gabriel and his sister Joanna are promising young adults, thriving as best they can in a busy city. After losing their mother, they have adapted to being on their own and not relying on their father. He had been a hustler and a drifter, usually creating more problems than good. In spite of this, Gabe and Joanna were resilient. They have handled their affairs well, despite any drama their father unintentionally brought their way. However, this time, something more serious has occurred. It has caused them to make a choice they had never considered before: running. It seemed like a good idea at first. Yet, in their efforts to find safety, they found something much more sinister than what they left behind. Surviving through the consequences of their choice is their only goal.<br /> .<br /> .<br /> .<br /> .<br /> .<br /> #book #books #novel #novels #author #amazon #Kindle #suspense #thriller #goodreads #gmabookclub	ScholarMan	6624	https://facebook.com/ScholarManMusic	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

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

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

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years.

How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.

He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair!

In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before.

Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again.

All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna.

She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.

Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out.

In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder.

Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one.

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?"

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged.

Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

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

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

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

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

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?"

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations.

But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!"

One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better.

Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

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

Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding.

It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else?

In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

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

Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.<br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations.

I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!"

But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else?

You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl.

Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport.

We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better.

For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name!

She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!"

I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years.

He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair!

You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again.

Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport.

But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate.

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better.

Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!"

She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.

He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> .................................................. ..<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here.<br /> 😍Open the APP to read for free👉	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1711695600	View Edit Delete

We’re starting to see the first hints of flowers blooming and it’s a good reminder that we all experience different seasons of healing, renewal, and growth.<br /> With our demanding schedules, it's easy to overlook the beauty that comes with the changing seasons. Here are a few ways to not let it pass you by uncelebrated.<br /> • Take a moment to reflect on your personal and professional growth. What goals have you achieved, and what aspirations do you still hold? Spring is an excellent time to plant the seeds for new endeavors.<br /> • Plan gatherings with fellow physician moms or join outdoor activities that align with your interests. Connecting with each other can provide a support system that understands the unique challenges we face.<br /> • Take a walk-in a nearby park or botanical garden. Connecting with nature reduces stress and improves mood. <br /> • Get some fresh air during a break at work. Soak up the Vitamin D, but don’t forget the sunblock!<br /> Here's to a season of possibilities!	Wellness Revival MD	37	https://facebook.com/61556233313583	LEARN_MORE	1711695600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!"

For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name!

She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good!

I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years.

You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one.

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

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!"

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out.

Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

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

Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

It may seem like completely different bodies of art, but for this artist, it was the same thing — and a chance to tell different stories. With Cajuns, it was about our past and where we came from.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

Jestem przeszczęśliwa i wzruszona, ponieważ naprawdę nie spodziewałam się takiego obrotu zdarzeń i momentu, w którym moje rozmyślania pojawią się w rękach 100 tysięcy Ludzi. Pisanie "Tak działa mózg" było dla mnie realizacją ogromnego marzenia i niejako urzeczywistnieniem wielkiej pasji, zajawki, którą żyję. Dziękuję wszystkim Czytelniczkom i Czytelnikom - Asia Podgórska @drjoanpodgorska <br /> <br /> 💭 Temat może początkowo onieśmielać i budzić – szczególnie w humanistycznych umysłach! – popłoch, ale trudno nie ulec jego zagadkowemu pięknu. Szczególnie kiedy autorką książki jest uwielbiana przez rzesze czytelników i słuchaczy dr Joanna Podgórska, absolutna ekspertka i edukatorka w zakresie neurochemii i neurobiologii. Kilka miesięcy, które spędziłyśmy z Asią na szlifowaniu ostatecznego kształtu jej debiutanckiej książki, to wspaniała przygoda. Bardzo się cieszę, że funkcjonowanie mózgu okazało się tak fascynujące już dla 100 tys. Polaków. - dodaje Maria Tengowska, redaktorka inicjująca tytułu.<br /> <br /> 🗣 Książka dr Asi Podgórskiej znalazła swoje miejsce na półkach tak wielu polskich domów bowiem jej autorka w świetny przejrzysty i przystępny sposób opisała to, co przecież najważniejsze - ten organ, który stanowi o sednie naszego istnienia. Dzięki „Tak działa mózg” wiemy jak o niego dbać, jak go karmić i czego nie warto robić, by dłużej cieszyć się świetnym Zdrowiem naszego centrum zarządzania. Bardzo się cieszę, że udało nam się dotrzeć z tą treścią do tak wielu osób.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years.

How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.

He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair!

In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.

Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone?

In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

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

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

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?"

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

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

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712386800	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

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

Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

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

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

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Make Reading Fantastic	0	https://facebook.com/61557363197504	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711868400	View Edit Delete

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

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

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

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

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

But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate.

Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaître complètement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu'à quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> Même s'ils étaient divorcés, Bruce se sentait toujours trompé et même trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il était minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenêtre.<br /> <br /> À l'intérieur d'une maison, un homme dit froidement: "Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire."<br /> <br /> "Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?" demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours été une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> "Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!" dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s'adossant au canapé. Il était aussi beau qu'une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard était toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lèvres pâles de Johanne frémissent comme si elle était tombée dans l'eau glacée. Elle demanda avec surprise: "Tu divorces parce qu'elle est de retour? Notre mariage n'est-il qu'une plaisanterie pour toi?"<br /> <br /> "Tu n'étais pas celle que je voulais épouser au départ, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu'elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la même erreur. Dépêche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathétique. Tu devrais considérer que c'est une bonne affaire". Bruce avait toujours été doué pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> "Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?" demanda amèrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Fais comme tu veux. J'ai des moyens de te faire disparaître. Légalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera."<br /> <br /> En tant qu'héritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours été capable de faire ce qu'il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tête de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a décidé de se lier à celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sœur de Johanne, l'homme a été drogué. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couché ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aînée du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frère fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L'état mental de Roxane Fontaine s'est dégradé et elle a été envoyée dans une maison de repos à l'étranger pour y être soignée.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de ménage la plus éhontée, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couché avec son beau-frère!<br /> <br /> Bruce la détestait encore plus et a décidé que c'était Johanne qui l'avait drogué et avait grimpé sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitié depuis des générations. Ce mariage devait d'ailleurs permettre d'approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aînés des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insisté pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux dernières années de mariage avaient été un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolérance et son affection n'ont pas amélioré la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit à davantage d'humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est épuisée, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> "Bien, je les signerai, mais j'ai une demande à faire."<br /> <br /> "Crache le morceau alors!" Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait à plus d'argent!<br /> <br /> Après tout, c'est ce qui l'intéressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> "Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux dernières années, chaque fois que tu as été avec moi, tu as prononcé le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m'as fait sentir que j'étais la pire femme du monde, et j'en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l'amour avec moi pour la dernière fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!" Pour la première fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystériques et tremblait de colère!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux dernières années, Bruce a délibérément prononcé le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l'humilier. Il n'y avait aucun amour là-dedans!<br /> <br /> "Oh, arrête tes bêtises. Quelqu'un m'attend en bas..."<br /> <br /> Johanne s'ébroua d'un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c'était probablement Roxane qui l'attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> "Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu'elle attend, et je pense qu'elle peut être tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j'ai dit ou pas. C'est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dérange pas que les médias écrivent à nouveau des histoires sur moi!"<br /> <br /> Bruce détestait le plus être menacé. Ses lèvres fines se retroussèrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il répondit: "Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!"<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d'un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont été déchirés...<br /> <br /> L'homme ne lui a même pas donné d'avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> "Ah!" s'écria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce était aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s'est jamais soucié de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-être que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Très bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s'en souviendrait, se remémorant la cruauté de cet homme à son égard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> "Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?"<br /> <br /> Il finit par l'appeler par son nom alors qu'il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fût toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se débarrtootshieer de la dépression qui l'avait hantée pendant deux années entières.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu'elle disait d'un ton navré: "Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t'aimerai plus!"<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu'elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l'ignorer. Il attrapa sa mâchoire avec mépris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle était belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit était rempli de saletés et de stratagèmes.<br /> <br /> C'était pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> "Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l'argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!"<br /> <br /> Après avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongée sur le sol, en mauvais état.<br /> <br /> Deux mois après...<br /> <br /> Dans un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Félicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous êtes enceinte de plus d'un enfant. Mais je vous suggère d'abandonner un ou deux des fœtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!"<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n'enlèverait le droit de vivre à aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C'était ses bébés et seulement les siens! D'une manière ou d'une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les élever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l'unité de soins intensifs d'un hôpital.<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolé, nous avons tout essayé, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!"<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: "Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d'autre? Si mon père ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront légués au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d'entre nous n'a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon père aussi. Nous ne savons pas à quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l'accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misérable fille qui est la mienne!"<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine était misérable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le père de Shaun, a rédigé un étrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissé 51% du Groupe Fontaine à sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n'hériteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplémentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriétés de la famille Fontaine iront directement à l'État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait désespérément Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c'était comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n'a jamais entendu parler d'elle et ne l'a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu'elle et Bruce ont divorcé.<br /> <br /> "De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprès de s'opposer à nous! Personne ne sait où elle est allée pendant toutes ces années!"<br /> <br /> La seconde épouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l'époque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsé la mère de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donné naissance à son troisième fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille était absolument tootshieurée.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s'était jamais attendue à ce qu'elle n'aurait rien à la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme préférait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> "Papa, maman, grand-père est réveillé!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... ma Johanne..." Raymond était dans le coma depuis plus d'une douzaine de jours. Ses heures étaient comptées.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule préoccupation était pour sa petite-fille aînée, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiétait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait même Ingride d'avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieiné sa petite-fille bien-aimée.<br /> <br /> "Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n'est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n'auras pas un sou avant ça..."<br /> <br /> Ingride a crié à voix btootshiee: "Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait où elle est allée? En plus, si elle tient vraiment à toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la dernière fois?"<br /> <br /> Une pointe d'impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s'empêcher de demander: "Bruce, sais-tu où est ptootshieée ma sœur?"<br /> <br /> Bruce s'est figé parce qu'il ne connaissait pas la réponse à cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, après leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer à le harceler ou au moins faire une scène!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a déménagé. Elle n'a emporté avec elle que ses papiers d'identité, pas même la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre années, il n'y avait eu aucune nouvelle d'elle. Bien sûr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l'a jamais contactée non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu'elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait préparé tant de plans pour se débarrtootshieer d'elle lorsqu'elle se présenterait. Pourtant, il s'est avéré qu'il n'avait besoin d'aucun d'entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complètement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> "Johanne... Johanne!"<br /> <br /> "Oh, vas-y, grand-père est en train de mourir! Va chercher les médecins..."<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiqué à tout le monde que le cœur de Raymond s'arrêtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblés autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient être légués!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l'hôpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a été poussée.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrée portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermès en édition limitée, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnées couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont déjà tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures à talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrée avec le genre d'ambiance de beauté glacée, semblant faire baisser la température dans la salle!<br /> <br /> "Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l'a autorisée à être ici?"<br /> <br /> "C'est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-père!" Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> "Johanne!" Les autres haletèrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changé!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu'elle avait l'habitude de garder lisses étaient devenus bruns bouclés. Il avait l'habitude d'atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son épaule. Elle avait complètement changé de la gentille fille d'à côté à une femme de carrière mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c'est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu'auparavant. Elle mesurait un mètre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser à peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l'innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s'était également vidée. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu'elle avait dû vivre beaucoup de choses ces dernières années!<br /> <br /> "Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinée si tu ne te montres pas..."<br /> <br /> Pour la première fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> "Je suis désolée, grand-père. Je suis désolée d'être en retard!"<br /> <br /> "Johanne," Raymond cria et ouvrit à peine les yeux," je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin être soulagé..."<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tête pencha et ses yeux se fermèrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L'ECG bipait, déclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> "Grand-père? Grand-père!" cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-père était le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d'elle!<br /> <br /> "Ah, allez, arrête ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais été là depuis longtemps si tu t'étais soucié de ton grand-père! Maintenant qu'il est temps de parler d'héritage, tu es venu?" dit Derick, le fils aîné de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton était évident.<br /> <br /> Il n'avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sœur aînée, et maintenant qu'elle était la plus grande bénéficiaire de l'héritage de Raymond, Derick la détestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> "Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu'un et organise d'abord les funérailles", dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligé, il tapote l'épaule de Johanne." Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens à la maison!"<br /> <br /> Les lèvres d'Ingride se retroussèrent avec dédain, mais elle disait joyeusement: "C'est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-père a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hérites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dû lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante à une fille qui n'y connaît rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naïve. Laisse ton père continuer à diriger l'entreprise!"<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne était censée suivre ses instructions. Au fond d'elle-même, elle était convaincue que cette dernière était aussi stupide que sa salope de mère!<br /> <br /> Au moment où Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrôle total d'Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restée sans expression. Elle dit froidement: "Je ne veux pas penser à cela maintenant. Je veux juste m'occuper de grand-père d'abord!"<br /> <br /> "Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L'enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut être remis à plus tard!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C'était en fin d'après-midi après que la maison mortuaire ait récupéré le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l'hôpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> "Où habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramènera!" dit Bruce. Sa voix était un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressé la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clés de la voiture dans sa main. "Merci, mais c'est moi qui ai conduit jusqu'ici!"<br /> <br /> Le regard indifférent sur son visage donnait l'impression qu'elle était simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce était en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s'est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: "Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et..."<br /> <br /> "C'est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hôtel. Au revoir!" Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s'est dirigée vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientôt, une Bentley argentée est sortie du parking et a démarré en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> "Il semble que ma sœur ait bien vécu ces dernières années! Elle pouvait profiter d'une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!"<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a pas répondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre années d'absence de Johanne, Bruce n'a pas épousé Roxane. De plus, pendant cette période, il s'est rendu compte que cette dernière n'était tout simplement pas celle qu'il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n'a pas rompu avec Roxane était à cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine était riche, mais ce n'était rien comparé à la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aînés des deux familles étaient des amis proches! C'est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c'est Roxane qui l'a sauvé! Depuis lors, il a juré qu'il aimerait et protégerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> "Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu'elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douée avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vêtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dû se mettre en ménage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement à elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!" Ingride semblait faire l'éloge de Johanne, mais il n'était pas difficile de comprendre ce qu'elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> "Maman, de quoi parles-tu?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se débrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiètent jamais, où qu'elles aillent. Il n'y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu'elle!"<br /> <br /> Bruce était en quelque sorte un peu contrarié." Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J'ai une réunion importante ce soir."<br /> <br /> "Oui, bien sûr. Conduis prudemment, d'accord?" dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d'offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n'a rien dit de plus, s'est retourné et est monté dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Après avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colère. Elle se plaint: "Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n'aurais jamais dû mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n'a plus jamais parlé de m'épouser! Et maintenant qu'elle est de retour, qu'est-ce qu'on va faire?"<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait était ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D'abord, elle a drogué Johanne. Puis elle a envoyé la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier était trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Après cela, Ingride a informé un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggérant d'écrire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s'est jetée dans les bras de son beau-frère. Elle s'attendait à ce que cette fille soit privée de son droit d'héritage après avoir déshonoré la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couché avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont échappé. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par épouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant à cela, Ingride dit: "Je l'ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça à cause de ton grand-père! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisé cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut défendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!"<br /> <br /> "Mais maman..." Roxane était toujours inquiète.<br /> <br /> Même si Bruce avait été bon avec elle pendant des années, elle pouvait voir la frigidité dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L'homme a rarement souri depuis qu'il a divorcé de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il était devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois à Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> "Ne t'inquiète pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa défunte mère! Nous sommes en train de nous éloigner d'elle. Pas avant qu'elle ne renonce d'abord à sa part d'héritage..."<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c'était l'enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine étaient arrivés au cimetière sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont également présentées pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetière.<br /> <br /> Après tout, Raymond Fontaine était un gros bonnet à Greyport. Alors, bien sûr, ses funérailles étaient bien ciblées.<br /> <br /> "J'ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aînée de la famille Fontaine hérite du Groupe Fontaine."<br /> <br /> "Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a séduit son beau-frère il y a six ans et a forcé sa sœur à partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s'est mariée dans la famille Chevalier à la place de sa sœur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C'est impressionnant!"<br /> <br /> "Ha! Et alors? C'est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a été mise à la porte par la famille Chevalier, n'est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dégoûtante!"<br /> <br /> Ingride était folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S'efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: "Puis-je avoir votre attention s'il vous plaît? Tout d'abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d'être venus aux funérailles de Raymond, et..."<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: "Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relève du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?"<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de répondre: "Je ne vais pas être dérangé par d'autres choses en ce jour extrêmement pénible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d'un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d'une réunion du conseil d'administration pour choisir le bon directeur exécutif!"<br /> <br /> "Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n'est-elle pas là un jour si important?"<br /> <br /> "Ha, c'est la question que vous devriez lui poser..."<br /> <br /> Pendant qu'elle parlait, à l'extérieur du cimetière vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pénétrait dans le cimetière, suivie d'une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Regardez cette plaque d'immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!" Les journalistes sont tout excités et se précipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait à Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus à Greyport. L'un d'eux était Bruce Chevalier, et l'autre était Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxième fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait également une société de divertissement appelée Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz étaient des artistes sous le contrôle de sa société.<br /> <br /> Contrairement à Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours été un homme de publicité.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s'ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> "Wow, c'est vraiment M. Grimm!" La presse s'avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Après que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s'est tourné de l'autre côté et a aidé une femme vêtue de noir à sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> "Est-ce...? Wow, c'est Johanne Fontaine!"<br /> <br /> "C'est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?"<br /> <br /> Comme ils étaient tous étonnés, un à un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vêtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l'effet d'une bombe, suscitant l'intérêt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely. He jerked his head down and shut her mouth with his furious kiss.

One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann.

So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl." Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> "Bruce, we're divorced.I've figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Divorcing you is the best thing that ever happened to me."<br /> And that succeeded in pissing Bruce off completely.

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> ...<br /> Chapter 1 The Divorce<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> ...<br /> Due to words limited, pls download our app to read more chapters >	Read Best Romance	1	https://facebook.com/61557367037646	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712127600	View Edit Delete

Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back?

One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years.

Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

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

Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again.

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1712041200	View Edit Delete

Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	Oasismore	1197	https://facebook.com/100091245910257	LEARN_MORE	1711782000	View Edit Delete

When did you hook up with Jaydon Grimm?"<br /> Though they had been divorced for four years, Bruce still thought that Joanna belonged to him. He looked quite arrogant when saying those words.<br /> Joanna tried to free herself but failed. At last, she glared at Bruce and spoke up in a voice of cold fury, "Mr. Everett, please show me some respect. If you want to talk about business, please go to the office! If you want to take it personally, however, I have nothing to say to you."<br /> Bruce's lips curled into a sullen sneer as he heard her words. He leaned closer and closer to her.<br /> Joanna frowned, but deep down, her heart started racing nervously!<br /> Back then, Bruce had absolute dominance and control over her. Over those years, she had been deeply traumatized.<br /> Though it had been four years, the nerves in her body still retained their fear of him.<br /> "Let go of me, Bruce! This is the place where I work. Don't you dare..."<br /> "What are you so afraid of? You fear that they might find you hitting on your ex-husband in the restroom?"<br /> "Are you insane? I'm warning you. Show some respect!"<br /> "A woman like you deserves no respect at all."<br /> "Bruce Everett, you're going too far!" With that, Joanna started struggling violently.<br /> Yet it did not work. Bruce was pinning her arms to the wall, making it impossible for her to struggle! He was so tall and oppressive that Joanna could barely breathe.<br /> "Don't you love it when I do such things to you? Ha, I didn't expect that after four years, you would still like pretending to be an innocent girl."<br /> As he said, Bruce took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked into her eyes with a wicked smile. "It's exactly that look on your face. Oh, I bet Jaydon Grimm loves it, doesn't he?"<br /> Joanna was completely flustered. She shouted, "You psychopath. What are you doing? Stop this..."<br /> Bruce grinned in satisfaction at her panicked reaction.<br /> When they were still married, he liked to punish her with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever they were in bed.<br /> Now that Joanna had found her way to another man's bed, Bruce was gonna show her the horror of irritating him.<br /> "Oh, are you afraid of being seen? You're afraid that Jaydon Grimm might dump you for this? Just cut it off, Joanna Haynes. Put away your dirty little schemes."<br /> Joanna was furious. "Tell me then, Mr. Everett, what my schemes could possibly be?"<br /> "Didn't we agree while getting divorced? You would leave Greyport forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, the look on his face nearly murderous.<br /> What the man cared the most was that Joanna actually came back with her sons with another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> He would stop loving or even abandon anyone or anything at any time! But he just didn't like the idea of his toy being taken over by someone else.<br /> "I came back for my grandfather's inheritance. What's it to you? I said, have some respect and let go of me!"<br /> "And I've told you that you don't deserve any respect, haven't I?" Bruce sneered, his big hands running wild over her body.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	Literie-Endless Stories Await	867	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	LEARN_MORE	1712214000	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	Lereader-Favorite novel	1150	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	LEARN_MORE	1712300400	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete

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

Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	OasisStory	16681	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	LEARN_MORE	1711954800	View Edit Delete
